Twilight Series

By Stephanie MeyersAndrew bought me the whole series for our anniversary, in hardback none the less, isn't he amazing? They sat on my shelf for almost a week before I gave in and read them all again. Needless to say, I was not great company for the next 48 hours. I loved them even more the second time around. Things worked together better, the author definitely planned the series out well. I can't decide for sure what my favorite book is, it kind of depends on the day. I also have a hard time thinking of series as individual books. But if you FORCED me to choose I would probably say the last one, I just like how much more grown up everyone is. Less teenage angsty. I love guilty pleasures.

P.S. I am little worried for the movie to come out, I hate being disappointed when they aren't as good as the book.

Breaking Dawn

By Stephanie MeyerI accidentally read this book. Crazy I know. I wasn't going to buy it yet (I want to buy them all together) and was I waiting until I ran into someone who would loan me their copy. I showed up at my parent's house on Tuesday night to go to my cousin's wedding and help with my sister's wedding. And Rachelle had a copy she had borrowed and didn't have time to read until after her honeymoon. So I wasn't very helpful for the first 30 hours or so I was there. Or very sociable. Because I loved this book and couldn't put it down until I finished it.

I agree with some other people that it is very different from the first three books, but I think it is different in a good way. If it was more of the same it just wouldn't be any good. I was very happy that it felt like a new book to read and that the characters were still changing and progressing. Most of the book was very unexpected to me, which I loved. I hadn't expected the plot to go in that direction at all and I thought it worked perfectly. The book didn't leave you hanging, wondering what would happen next to the characters and I really appreciated that. It was a great ending for a story that will supposedly never end!

What did all you who have read it think?

The Twilight Series

By Stephanie Meyer



So I just finished reading these three books last weekend. Several people had been trying to get me to read them and I had been resisting. For some reason I get stubborn about reading books that people gush over. Then my mom brought me up the first one. I didn't even pick it up for a few days. Once I did I was doomed. I read all three back to back and didn't do anything else for an entire weekend.

The basic plot line is fairly simple. A teenage girl, Bella, moves to Forks, WA and falls in love with a vampire, Edward. The rest of the story is about them trying to figure out how they can be together without her getting killed.

They are really well written, have a fairly unique plot line, and complex characters (for teen books). I'm always a little hesitant about romantic plot lines but this was really well done. And the vampires and werewolves thing wasn't weird at all (I was worried about this). I highly recommend them, they move along fast and are fairly easy reads. However, I don't recommend reading one until you want to read all three. I can't wait for the other two books to come out!
